Shooting of the Eid celebrations at Haji Zakir's mosque

My team and I went to shoot the Eid celebrations at Imam Haji Zakir's mosque in Queens, bright and early Sunday morning - 9/20. The program started at 08:00 AM. We were supposed to be there before 8 AM or a little after. But, we arrived there late!

Nevertheless, we did some filming of the rest of the prayers and was able to get a couple spoke of the importance of Ramadan. It was informative.

We've another appointment to film Imam Haji Zakir coming week-end. Looking forward to that shoot. Dr. Tara Singh was influencial in brokering that meet. Thanks, Doctor.

On another side, Vishal, one of the assistants, went to his first shoot with us. I must say that it looked like he helped around, though from the stills I took, it was evident that Robby was working hard at his craft. When asked what he thought of his first shoot, all Vishall could muster was, "It was interesting." So much enthusiasm!!!

Enjoy some photos of the morning's take...
